    2013 Philadelphia CBD Mid-YearOffice Market Report and Outlook

    OUTLOOK

    Rental RatesRents throughout the Philadelphia CBD have remained relatively flat.

    We expect Class B rates to increase due to the decreasing supply in

    that asset class. Look for this trend to continue through 2014.

    Vacancy

    Overall, vacancy rates have experienced minimal change. Three

    Franklin Plaza, 225,000 square feet, has been eliminated from the

    supply with its sale to a charter school. One Franklin Plaza, also left

    vacant by GSKs move to the Navy Yard accounts for roughly 12%

    of the overall CBD vacancy.

    Large Blocks of Space

    Tenants looking for over 50,000 square feet of contiguous space are

    faced with a relatively limited supply. There are only 15 spaces over

    50,000 square feet. Only 6 contiguous blocks of space greater than

    100,000 square feet are available. The lack of large spaces on the

    market leaves large tenants with few options, this could lead to the

    construction of a new office building.

    Investment Sales

    The investment sales market in Center City continues to gain

    momentum. During the first half of 2013 we have seen a variety

    of assets trade. They range from stabilized Class-A office,

    value-add opportunities, to re-development opportunities. The

    investor activity has triggered other owners to explore disposition

    of assets. There are currently 5 buildings comprising of 2.5 million

    square feet on the market.

    New Office Development

    There has been no real change in new office development in the

    CBD. The only office development activity has been in University

    City and the Navy Yard. 2.0 University Place was recently completed.

    3737 Market Street is progressing and will be the anchored by Penn

    Presbyterian Medical Center. Liberty Property Trust has

    several new buildings on the drawing board at the Navy Yard.

    2013 Philadelphia CBD Mid-YearOffice Market Report and Outlook

    MULTIFAMILY ACTIVITY

    Philadelphia has the third largest residential population among

    Central Business Districts in the Country. Over 175,000 people live

    in the Center City, this represents a 10% increase from 2000.*

    According to the 5-year estimates from the U.S. Census Bureaus

    American Community Survey, 57.4% of Center City residents

    are renters. High demand for rental units in Center City is confirmed

    by low vacancy rates along with the highest rental rates in the

    region. Rental apartments in Philadelphias CBD boasts a low

    vacancy rate of 3.4%. Rents have remained relatively flat over

    the last year due to the increase in inventory.

    Center City continues to see the trend of Office-to-Apartment

    conversions. Over the past 20 years 47 Center City office buildings

    have been converted to apartments. This has resulted in a reduction

    of 7,685,000 square feet of office space from the market.

    This trend of conversions does not seem to be slowing down as

    Alterra Properties, one of the developers behind the conversion

    of 1616 Walnut recently purchased 42 South 15th Street with

    the intention to convert to 185 apartments.

    Center City has seen a significant amount of new construction as

    well. Pearl Properties is nearing completion on the construction of

    The Granary and the 100% pre-leased The Sansom. In addition,

    The John Buck Company has delivered 319 new apartments at

    2116 Chestnut Street. These three buildings total 679 units of

    new inventory. Brandywine Realty Trust is looking to begin

    construction on 278-units at 1919 Market Street in the fall.

    SSH is currently tracking 22 new apartment projects in various

    stages of development. These projects could add over 4,500

    new units by 2015, if all are completed.

    Despite the influx of inventory to the market it is expected va-

    cancy rates will remain low. This is due to the absorption of pent

    up demand as people begin to trade up from older units and

    move out of their parents houses. Additionally, as the economy

    improves people will be able to afford to not have roommates.

    2013 Suburban Philadelphia Mid-YearOffice Market Report and Outlook

    OUTLOOK

    Rental RatesAs a whole rental rates have remained flat during the first half of

    2013. The average suburban rental rate increased $0.11 per square

    foot since the end of 2012. Expect rents to continue to increase

    gradually during the remainder of 2013.

    Vacancy

    The average vacancy rate for the suburban market saw little change,

    decreasing by 0.67% in the first half of 2013.

    Investment Sales

    The Blue Bell area saw one of the biggest investor sales in the

    suburbs. Keystone Property Group has purchased 16 and 18 Sentry

    Park West from Mack-Cali. The price was $19.3 million or roughly

    $102 per square foot.

    New Development

    Speculative new development has yet to resume, however there

    are a number of properties slated for redevelopment. There are

    some ongoing built-to-suit projects underway as well.

    Liberty Property Trust is developing a new 200,000 square foot

    office building for Vanguard at Great Valley Corporate Center.

    Construction is expected to be finished mid-2014. Liberty is also

    renovating One County View Road in Malvern.

    Shires built-to-suit at Atwater Corporate Center has been scrapped,

    and they have decided to remain at Chesterbrook Corporate Center.

    With the recent completion of the new turnpike interchange the

    Atwater Corporate Center remains poised to be a top competitor

    for any large build-to-suit in the market.
